It’s time! Fluminense decides this Tuesday, starting at 7 pm, a place in the quarterfinals of Conmebol Libertadores. After a draw in the first leg of the round of 16 match, Team de Guerreiros needs a victory by any score over Argentinos Juniors-ARG in Maracanã to advance in the competition.
Author of the beautiful goal that decreed the 1-1 in last week’s duel, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, in Buenos Aires, Samuel Xavier showed confidence in the classification and highlighted the feeling of playing a match of this size.
“We know the responsibility we have in a game as important as this one. We wanted to come back from Argentina with a victory, but we are aware that this draw was important for us to decide at home, alongside our fans. Now it’s time to go in very concentrated in search of this victory to get the classification”, said the number 2 shirt.
Packed by a sequence of 20 unbeaten games at home, with 15 wins and 5 draws, Fluminense has Maracanã as an asset for tonight’s decision. With all tickets for the tricolor fans sold, the expectation is for a full house and support until the end. For Samuel Xavier, the perfect formula for another victory.
“Our fans have supported us a lot, and in every game we’ve seen the difference they make at Maracanã. And for this game it’s going to be like this, everyone together, the crowd supporting and us on the field giving our best. Thus, we have everything to achieve a great victory and a place in the next phase”, he said.
